Friday November 11th is a day we set aside to honor the many men and women who took the oath to defend our great nation from all enemies foreign or domestic. Its a day to just say "Thank You" to those who surrendered some of their rights to ensure that you can enjoy ALL of yours and to reinforce that appreciation many businesses across the nation and East Texas are giving away freebies and discounts to those who served.

Below We've Compiled A List Of Places That Have Confirmed Veterans Day Deals.

This comes courtesy of Military.com who went on to add that all of the discounts have been confirmed, either through press release or direct communication with the company. Some businesses may require proof of military service like a Retiree or Military Identification Card, VA Benefits Card, Veterans ID Card, DD-214, or State Identification Card.

You can find many of these businesses in Tyler and Longview. If we missed what your business is doing for Veterans Day, shoot us a message and we'll add you to this list.
